Product Description
When social worker Raina Hughes visits the home of a young boy sheโs been assigned to monitor, things quickly turn ugly. Later, when sheโs found brutally murdered, Detective Jackson thinks it's an open-and-shut case against the boy's ex-con father. Complications develop when new evidence points to a serial rapist whoโs becoming more violent with each attack. Rainaโs lover, Jamie, knows what the rape victims have in common, but wonโt tell for fear of revealing her own secrets. When Jamie disappears, Jackson must uncover the truth before the body count goes higher.
โThis is a well-plotted, suspenseful crime story that will keep readers on a rollercoaster ride.โโOverMyDeadBody.com
โI recently ripped through โSecrets to Die For,โ the second in Eugene author L.J. Sellersโ Detective Jackson series. Itโs the kind of fiction where the writing gets out of the way and allows you to read on autopilot until you figure out who did it. Maybe all mysteries are this way, but I had to stay up until 2 a.m. to finish it.โโThe Register Guard
โAnother top notch outing from the author of THE SEX CLUB. Sellers manages to maintain suspense as well as treating a potentially salacious subject with dignity. Hopefully this series will continue. There is ample material and Sellers ฬ writing style is superb.โโBookbitch.com
โI couldnโt put this book down until I reached the shocking ending! While writing a thrilling mystery, Ms Sellersโ explores our attitudes toward some of the social issues we tend to turn a blind eye to.โ โMolly Weston, Meritorious Mysteries
